I know this is a very off-topic not Bond related, but I just had to let you know how amazing yesterday's gig in Paris was!

3h30 of breathtaking performance, with notably rarely sung songs (E Street Shuffle, Sandy, Bobby Jean, Spirit in the Night...). The Boss playing with the audience and delivering a breathtaking performance with his Band. Easily the best concert I've ever attended. Now my ears hurt and I'm voiceless...

One of my heroes. Glad you enjoyed.

I went to Barcelona in May and will be going to London in a couple of weeks for my Bruce fix.

Sounds like an awesome experience. I hope to see him perform in the future.

Indeed it was awesome! Even without the Big Man (who was not there but was not forgotten). I saw him some years ago in the Stade de France (our big stadium in Paris), but somehow this "smaller" stage was more suitable for a Bruce experience that mixed intimate songs (the wonderful Independence day played solo on the piano) and great big-band rock n' rolling. Such a tremendous show.

I'm sure the London gig will be excellent. Wish I could be there...
